Description: The reverse reads:
"This inter-tribal troupe of fourteen dancers was organized by Red Thunder Cloud, author of this series in East Hampton in 1944. The troupe practiced tribal dances in the woods near his home on Abrahams Path in Three Mile Harbor. They have appeared at hundreds of schools, camps, pow wows, and children's theaters all over the east.
The Bonac Indian Dancers have also performed at Columbia University, Brooklyn College, Rhode Island State College and the University of Pennsylvania.
The young man kneeling is Robert Butler, the little boy who appears in Photos 8 and 12. He wears his hair long like his late uncle Charles in Photo 7, thus preserving this trait of the males of the Butler family. His grandmother, Princess Olive Butler, was a member of St. Luke's Church in East Hampton, L.I.
Youth in the center is Little Feather, a Carib Indian of Central America and the author, a Catawba, appears on the right. He has made East Hampton his home since, 1942."
